speaker boehner, eric cantor have not been overly supportive so far. they reserve the right to amend it. there are three options. we could all hold hands and jump off into the deep end together. that would be the house republican conference approving of this bill, at least enough of them joining the democrats to move it forward. you could also see house republicans try to amend it. that's what tom cole is talking about on your air. he doesn't think that would happen and doesn't want that to happen but it certainly is a possibility if some conservative house republicans say we don't like this part of the deal let's send it back over to the senate. that puts us in sort of a chaos with so little time. today is a free day. the markets close. what happens tomorrow if there is still not a fiscal deal in place? lastly if there is an all out rejection all bets are off, we're jumping over the fiscal cliff. it is up to john boehner to gauge how his conference is going to react to this bill and from folks i've talked to there is a little bit of nervousness among

nobody thinks that eric cantor is going to be a kinder and gentler face for the republican party. you know, there was palace intrigue. there was quiet movement among conservatives to vacate the chair which means they would have voted against john boehner. and if they got more than 16 to vote against john boehner, then the chair is vacated. you need a majority. and they had the votes, people that were willing to vote against john boehner to take him down as speaker, but then they looked around and said, who's going to replace him? and there was nobody to replace him. so john boehner will continue to be speaker of the house. but there is movement afoot. and they had the votes to do it. they just didn't have anybody to replace him. >> but remember, they've got a constituency problem. a lot of americans care a lot about the second amendment. a lot of americans might want sensible changes in crime control laws but not wholesale changes in the way guns are l regulated. and a handful of congressmen were elected where the president won. they're not a 10% party. they may be a 10% popularit
